GENERAL NOTES
GENERAL NOTES
Read the following guide to properly configure and use the DMPU-HMI interface and the DMPU-PSHMI
programming software. The software is the development environment to create the configuration and
download it into DMPU-HMI device; this configuration summarizes the pages, alarms messages, the
variables from DMPU displayed on the operator interface and the 4 function buttons. This manual
describes the hardware and software characteristics to use DMPU-HMI.
2.1 Operating System
DMPU-HMI's software part consists of operating system and application program. The operating system
manages all the resources of the microcontroller and makes it available to the application program
created by the user.
Install DMPU-PSHMI software (suggested installation directory “Programs\DMPU-PSHMI”) on the PC.
When downloading a configuration, the PC software automatically checks the compatibility between
DMPU-HMI operating system and the application program; if an out-dated system version is present on
the operator interface, the PC software provides to update the device's operating system.
2.2 Set up menu
If the application program isn’t present on DMPU-HMI, at switch-on the “Set Up” menu is automatically
displayed (after showing for a few seconds the message “No Appli” to inform that the device isn’t
configured). If an application program is present on DMPU-HMI, the initial page is displayed. Press the
fourth button at the bottom while switching on to access at “Set Up” menu.
The set up menu has the following items:

Version: shows the operating system version.

Language: selects the working language if the application provides the multilanguage mode.

Parameters: modifies some DMPU-HMI parameters, as the user password to protect the
application pages.
Use the fourth button on the bottom to access at menu and the first button on the top to exit. The two
buttons in the middle are the up and down arrows and allow pages scroll.
2.3 PC connection
Use the COM0 port to connect the PC (see paragraph “DMPU-HMI wiring diagrams”). This
communication port is two wires RS485, so a USB/RS485 converter may be necessary to allow the
connection with the PC. In the “Option” software's menu, select the serial port to which DMPU-HMI is
connected, like in the following figure:
DMPU-PSHMI User manual (19/07/2012)

Motor Controllers
GENERAL NOTES
Figure 2-6 Select the PC's serial port in this menu
When the device is connected, the operator is able to:

Download the application program from PC to DMPU-HMI (described in chapter “PROJECT”).

Download the operating system from PC to DMPU-HMI.
2.4 Password
DMPU-HMI provides a user password to protect the application's pages so, when a protected page is
requested, the user must enter the password. The default user password is 1234 but it is possible to
change it in the “Set Up” menu (see “Set up menu” paragraph).

PROJECT
PROJECT
The following chapter analyses step by step a new DMPU-HMI project creation.
3.1 At the beginning
When opening DMPU-PSHMI programming software, select from the menu “File” the “New Project”
item, or push the button on the state bar. Both options are displayed in the following image:
Figure 3-7 Create a new project
The “Project Options” window is shown; in this window it is possible to define the project name, select
the first page displayed at switch-on and set external variables to read/write from DMPU main module.
3.2 Project options
The “Project options” window is automatically opened when creating a new project; it’s possible to open
again this window while programming through the main interface button on the upper state bar or the
“Display” drop-down menu. These options are shown in the following image:
Figure 3-8 Select "project options" from menu
The “Project Options” looks as follows:
DMPU-PSHMI User manual (19/07/2012)

PROJECT
Figure 3-9 Project options window
The parameters in this window are:

Project: project name (free user's choice).

All. Scroll: automatic alarm scroll time expressed in seconds (when multiple alarms are active).
If this time is zero, the alarm scroll will be manual (through two middle buttons, arrow buttons),
otherwise the alarms are displayed cyclically with a time interval defined in this parameter.

Var. Externals: to configure the external variables to read/write from/on DMPU main module.

COM 0: communication parameters between DMPU-HMI and PC using serial port. In this case
DMPU-HMI behaves like a slave device.

COM 2: communication parameters between DMPU-HMI and DMPU main module. The
parameters must be the same as in DMPU.
3.2.1
External Variables
The external variables are read or written, from/to DMPU device. In the “Project Options” menu, “Var.
Externals” it is possible to decide the used external variables (Figure 3-10). Clicking “Add Variable”, the
“New External Variable” window is shown (Figure 3-11) to define a variable name (user's free choice).
This name and a progressive ID number are added to the variables list on the left (Figure 3-12 and
Figure 3-13) where all the variables to read/write from/to DMPU-HMI are summarized. It’s possible to
show, modify and save the selected variable's parameters in the right box (Figure 3-14); the parameters
are the following:
COM: serial port connected to DMPU main module.
Node Address: DMPU slave address from which read/write variables. It's possible to connect
more than one DMPU main module to one DMPU-HMI; the node address allows to select from
which DMPU module the operator interface reads the external variables.
Address [DEC]: decimal register number to read on DMPU device: see the registers list on the
DMPU communication protocol.
Dimension: data format type of the read/written variable; see DMPU protocol.
Select how to manage the variable:
Nothing: the variable isn't read and isn't written.

Read continue: DMPU-HMI reads cyclically the variable from the DMPU regardless of
the displayed page, this variable is stored inside the DMPU-HMI.
Write continue: DMPU-HMI writes cyclically the variable's value stored into DMPU-HMI
on DMPU regardless of the displayed page.
Reading page: DMPU-HMI reads the variable from DMPU only when the page with this
variable is displayed.

3.3 Main interface
The main programming interface is divided into the following parts:
Status bar: button list to access the main software's features.
”Display” window (green): preview of the pages displayed on the operator interface; it is
possible to scroll the inserted pages and modify the page's text and/or the displayed variables.
“Alarms” window (yellow): preview of the alarm pages which are displayed on the operator
interface; it is possible to scroll the pages and modify the texts. These alarms are associated to
the 32 virtual alarms present in DMPU. When one of these alarms trips, the relevant alarm page
is displayed. If more than one alarm is simultaneously active it is possible to scroll the display
with the two middle buttons or use the automatic scroll function in “Project Options” (see the
paragraph “Project options”).
“Buttons” window: set the buttons functions on the operator interface. The buttons functions
are associated to the page which is shown in the actual green “Display” window. Change the
actual page to associate the functions for each page.
“Page Variables” window: the list of variables which are used in the current page.

Use the button on the state bar (described in “State bar” chapter) to insert more than one text and
variables and to scroll the pages (the current page number is shown on the top in the right side of the
state bar, Figure 3-17). In the red circle area of Figure 3-17 the current page number and name is

In the first row the tripped alarm number and the total number of the tripped alarms (“Alxx Tyy” where
“xx” is the alarm number and “yy” is the total number of alarms) is shown.
To customise a specific alarm window, select the alarm in the scroll list, like in following figure:
Figure 3-20 Alarm selection
Choose if the alarm message is shown or not when the alarm trips selecting or deselecting the flag on
the “Show alarm” box (Figure 3-21): if the alarm message is disabled, the message isn't shown on the
operator interface (although the associated DMPU's alarm trips).
Figure 3-21 Enable/disable alarm display
Define in the “Project option” menu how to display the alarm messages selecting or deselecting the flag
on the “Immediate Alarms” box: if the box is enabled, the alarm message will be immediately shown on
the operator interface when the alarm becomes active (replacing the current page); otherwise the alarm
message is shown only after pressing the fourth button at the bottom of DMPU-HMI. The alarm
condition is just shown by the red LED in this case.
